What should I tell my health care provider before I take Kenalog?

What should I watch for while using Kenalog?
Visit your care team for regular checks on your progress. Tell your care team if your symptoms do not start to get better or if they get worse.
Call your care team if you are around anyone with measles, chickenpox, or if you develop sores or blisters that do not heal properly.
Tell your care team if your symptoms do not start to get better within one week. Do not use on healthy skin or over large areas of skin.
Do not use an airtight bandage to cover the affected area unless your care team tells you to. If you are to cover the area, follow the instructions carefully. Covering the area where the medication is applied can increase the amount that passes through the skin and increases the risk of side effects.
If applying this medication to the diaper area of a child, do not cover with tight-fitting diapers or plastic pants. This may increase the amount of medication that passes through the skin and increase the risk of serious side effects.
Where should I keep my medicine?

Store at room temperature between 15 and 30 degrees C (59 and 86 degrees F). Do not freeze. Get rid of any unused medication after the expiration date. This medication is flammable. Avoid exposure to heat, fire, flame, and smoking.
To get rid of medications that are no longer needed or expired:
-Take the medication to a medication take-back program. Check with your pharmacy or law enforcement to find a location.
-If you cannot return the medication, check the label or package insert to see if the medication should be thrown out in the garbage or flushed down the toilet. If you are not sure, ask your care team. If it is safe to put in the trash, empty the medication out of the container.
